There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain

When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same

The ensemble of a song that is a decade old, the familiar smell of a soap, the sight of an tattered and worn photograph, a scrapbook which is scribbled by our high school friends all these things  seem to meaningless . But in reality, these gifts of the past can bring forth such strong feelings. It is truly exceptional how our senses can restore our memories and along with them, the powerful emotions that had once accompanied those lost moments.

A group photo of your school life can flood your mind with memories of the golden flashbacks. You can feel the innocence by seeing those crazy faces. You can remember the countless laughs, the countless moments you shared with friends. You can remember how happy and carefree you were. The sharing of lunch during the interval has it's own special place in everyone hearts and mind

There's a time that I remember when I never felt so lost

When I felt all of the hatred was too powerful to stop (ooh, yeah)

Now my heart feel like an ember and it's lighting up the dark

I'll carry these torches for ya that you know I'll never drop, yeah

Though sometimes it is poisonous to dwell too much on the past, revisiting those pleasant memories can be refreshing and even funny for moody days. These remembrance may be sweet and sour. You may be sad that these moments are locked in the past, but focusing on the beautiful emotions of that time can be helpful. These positive sense of nostalgia not only bring about feelings of happiness, but they can also result in us feeling more connected to those around us and increase our gratefulness.

So the next time when feeling a bit down consider revisiting the past. The results might surprise you. It can give you a sense of warmth, something that we all desire to experience time to time. It keeps us sane and conscious over things.

Toast to the ones here today (ayy)

Toast to the ones that we lost on the way

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories (ayy)

And the memories bring back, memories bring back you

After all, who are we without our memories?
